Investment Thesis for token.

A shared value incentive model to build a powerful and collaborative #Decentraland community.

(my opinion) - DYOR

1/ Thread 👇
2/ .#MANA is the in-world currency of #Decentraland.

How does it get used?

Marketplace fees, (burnt), governance token, buy names, wearables, land, art, many other cases are being explored.
3/ Founders create wealth for themselves and the community by increasing the utility of #MANA throughout #Decentraland and implementing burn mechanisms to increase the value of the token.

More the utility and lower the supply, higher the value proposition and potential price.
4/

2,805,886,393 MANA supply at ICO,

Previous burns as follows,

161M MANA($30M USD at the time), burnt during first Land Auction, (Dec 2017).

109M MANA($6.6M USD at the time) burnt during second Land Auction, (Dec 2018).

333M MANA burnt by team.
5/

100 MANA burnt for every Avatar name claim, (19,548 names have been claimed = 1,954,800 MANA Burnt).

2.5% burn fee for Secondary Market Tx's, (Land, Names, Wearables).

?% MANA burnt for clothe sales minted by Decentraland, (During early events - continuation unknown).
6/ Hints that #MANA will be burnt to claim a license to mint wearables,

DCL DAO owns 222M MANA and will release 22M MANA/year for next 10 years to Fund #Decentraland content creators & comps.

(~$2M USD/year at time of writing)
7/ Current total Supply according to the MANA contract,
2,195,727,965

etherscan.io/token/0x0f5d2f…

Not sure on circulating supply, but Coinmarketcap says 1,440,731,383 MANA so we'll roll with it.
8/

Risk 1: Heavily Susceptible to BTC and ETH movements due to parings and general #crypto.

Risk 2: MANA movements impact Decentraland Marketplace prices. Some people may dump land, etc due to heavy price swings.

Risk 3: Community may vote and use other currencies within DCL.
9/ My Strategy: Hold a bag of MANA and actively help build the platform.

Bring partnerships, run events, explore use cases with my LAND, grow community, anything that brings value to the people, brings value to the token.

Use LAND to show/build value. Use token to fund. Repeat.
10/ The stronger the token, the more funding strength the #Decentraland DAO Has.

The more fiat that 222M MANA Fund is worth, the more people we can attract to build and bring value to DCL.
11/

90,000+ #Decentraland lands is a 23,000,000 sq m's.

A LOT of virtual land to build on and will take an army of dedicated, passionate and often well funded community to build engaging/valuable experiences on.
12/ .#Decentraland will attract people in waves.

As each time it hits mass attention, there's a new set of next level things to look at.

This MANA run, people see a much better product than launch. (Feb 20th)

6-12 Months from now, it will be even more amazing.
13/ Not investment advice, all thoughts are my own, DYOR.

NFTs down 70-90%

What have we all learnt?

7 HARD IRON rules I’m sticking to moving forward.

2025 🚀

1/
2/ Hodl some sell some

I have 100s of NFTs of some collections.

wth will I do with all of them?

Derisk, reallocate, buy my family something nice.

Gonna sell some along the way - don’t care what anyone says.
3/ Not buying at mint.

Yeh I could have gotten in day 1.

But there’s 100s of projects that go nowhere at mint.

fomo buyers sell anyway so there’s a window to reassess/buy without major ‘day 1’ risk.

Day 15 is still early for a multi-year project.

Constantly drained? Constantly under achieiving? You're in the wrong zone.

Enter: 'The Zone of Genius'

One of the most profound pieces of reading I've ever done. (5 mins).

1/ Thread.
2/ The zone of what?

Bear with me.

Gay Hendricks, author and psychologist first mentioned it in his book in 2010, "The Big Leap".

Basically every single activity you do in the day falls under 4 zones.

Here's a quick summary,
3/

1. The zone of incompitence - you suck at it.

2. The zone of competence - You can do it just like others can, but you don't excel.

3. The zone of excellence - Tons of practice & experience has lead to you being VERY good at it.

Recently i had THE most bullish phone call on web3 I've ever had in my 6 years here.

- Theme parks
- Tripple A IPs
- Mobile Games
- $20M+ Marketing budgets

2025+ is going to be on fire.

Thread 1/ Image
1/ When I first started in 2017, I quickly learnt real change and adoption takes time.

2013 was great for Bitcoin
2017 was great for Crypto
2021 was great for DeFi/Metaverse
2025 ??
2/ Adoption happens when world changing tech gets married with accessibility.

NFTs were great in 2021 but they were mostly lead by JPEGs.

Way too hard to understand the value prop for non web3.

But 2025+ web3/NFT tech will be lead by EXPERIENCES.

CALCULATED NFT INVESTING

Looking at data, metrics & numbers before buying an NFT.

Thread 1/ Image
2/ I've done a thread on looking at data before making investment decisions.

But now with Blur & Opensea having a lot more graphs/data we can look at, I thought I'd do it again.

Culture, community, art matters.

So does Math,
3/ Long Term Historical Graphs.

Red = hyped, price increasing too fast,

Green = Consistent volume which eventually leads to sudden interest.

Purple = Consistent volume, (distribution % increasing)

****Not Always a clear indicator but gives me an idea. Image

I'm not afraid to say it like it is.

Yes, there's a very real possibility much of human labour will be replaced with AI.

Creative, engineering, medicing, research,

You name it, AI can assist or eventually take over.

1/
2/ What does this mean for humans?

- Take this seriously,
- Upskill yourself so you can increase your output and do more in your field,
- LET employers know you use AI to work better,
3/

- DO NOT rest on old methods. The future is adapt and learn,
- Stay ahead,
- Explore multiple income sources,

Don't wait till AI replaces your job.

Here's 14 MAJOR impacts AI will have that every human needs to be aware of.

1/
2/ Before I get into this,

A - I'm going to be as real as I can be,

B - Some of these are extemely wild 😅

C - I'm learning as well, please share your thoughts as we go.
3/ Higher Human Output

Humans will be able to achieve more in much less time.

Machines, factories, calculators, cars, planes, gave us 10,000+ hrs back.

Just like it's odd to NOT use a calculator, it will be odd to NOT use an AI tool to help write posts, concept design, etc
